Canadian Grand Prix happy with new Formula 1 sound

Earlier in 2014, Australian Grand Prix chief Ron Walker revealed his outrage at the loss of the screaming engines of the past, insisting that fellow race promoters will also be looking into whether the sport had breached its contracts.

Less concerned, however, is Dumontier, the man behind the popular Canadian Grand Prix in Montreal.

He is currently in the midst of negotiations to extend the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve’s contract beyond 2014, but on the matter of engine sound, he thinks it is purely “subjective”.
